這座建築物原是舊總督山頂別墅的兩座守衛室之一。
舊總督山頂別墅於1900年至1902年間興建,仿照蘇格蘭大宅建築特色,最終於1946年拆卸,僅剩下這一座守衛室。
舊總督山頂別墅守衛室屬新古典建築風格設計,布局嚴謹。正面外牆呈長方形,牆角並非成直角,而是圓角,十分美觀悅目 。守衛室正面外牆上端有三個小三角楣飾,令這座細小但極具意義的建築物,在外觀上倍添古典建築特色。
舊總督山頂別墅守衛室於1995年列為古蹟。
The Gate Lodge was originally one of the two gatekeeper’s lodges of the former Mountain Lodge, the Governor’s summer residence on The Peak.
Constructed between 1900 and 1902, the former Mountain Lodge was modelled on the lodges typically found in Scotland and was demolished in 1946, leaving only this single gate lodge.
The Gate Lodge is designed in a Neo-classical style with a compact floor plan. The front elevation is rectangular with attractively rounded, rather than right-angled, corners. The three small triangular pediments on the upper part of the facade also add to the classical appearance.
Gate Lodge of the Former Mountain Lodge was declared a monument in 1995.
